More leading in the hills

It looks like a busy schedule at work is going to me supplemented by a busy one in the hills over the next two months.

Following a 'relaxing' week on a narrow boat on the Oxfordshire canal last week which was down in the diary as 'holiday with family', I will now be taking two people out in the Central Welsh hills on August Bank Holiday weekend. Based at the Ty Cornell bunkhouse (in the Southern section of the Cambrian Mountains) we will be spending two days working on navigation and gps skills over the steep sided and river cut moorlands of this lovely part of Wales which seems to get hardly any visitors. Well worth a visit if you are looking for remote mountain biking and walking.

September includes acting as one of the leaders on tis year's Ice Warrior expeditions summer camp craft course in Snowdonia. The week long course is based around the Plas y Brenin mountain centre and will take in most of the hills and mountains of Snowdonia - including some of the little known parts of the range to trial night navigation and remote camping.

More on this in due course!
